Brief description of the drawings
Referring to accompanying drawing, wherein:
Fig. 1 shows the system for measuring arterial parameters according to the present invention;
Fig. 2, which is shown from artery of interest, obtains rf data;
Fig. 3 depicts the echo pattern obtained at the different parts of artery of interest;With
Fig. 4 shows that sample expands waveform.
Embodiment
Below with reference to Fig. 1 to Fig. 4 further describes the present invention by non exhaustive exemplary embodiment.
In fig. 1 it is shown that a kind of system (100) for being used to measure arterial parameters.The system (100) includes signal element (101), its multiple element of transducer with grid configuration arrangement.These element of transducers are individually or collectively operated To provide the untreated radio frequency ultrasonic signal for the artery of interest for being suitable for pending measurement.According to the measurement bag of the present invention Include the radio frequency ultrasonic signal utilized into untreated form and demodulation form.The radio demodulating unit (102) demodulation is untreated Radio frequency ultrasonic signal.Probe unit (103) is set, to utilize the Doppler's frequency obtained from the radio frequency ultrasonic signal of demodulation Modal data detects presence of the blood flow in artery of interest.In the presence of blood flow is detected, just pass through recognition unit (104) Artery of interest is specifically recognized.Feedback signal is provided, continuously to obtain number for a few data cycle According to so as to be further processed.The recognition unit has the one or more patterns relevant with each corresponding artery.
The data that processing unit (105) shows artery of interest with processing are provided, and it is then right in this manual It is illustrated.
The signal obtained from element of transducer is influenceed by noise and transient behaviour.The untreated radio-frequency echo wave is believed Number pre-processed to improve signal to noise ratio (SNR), and removed by using the matched filter for having bandpass filter below Transient phenomena.Apply nonlinear gain and reflected with suppressing the high-amplitude from skin gel interface.
As shown in Figure 2, with regard to artery of interest, signal frame is obtained in specific time interval.It is placed on the table of body Ultrasonic pulse is sent in body by the transducer (201) on face, so as to reach moving such as arteria carotis through soft tissue (202) Arteries and veins (203).Ultrasonic pulse (204) from transducer be shown as reach artery (203) wall farther out and the pulse Reflected.The ultrasonic pulse reflected is shown as (205).Obviously, ultrasonic pulse is transmitted, and these ultrasonic pulses are from straight Footpath is reflected for the nearly wall and remote wall of D artery.These echoes are received by same transducer.Show echo in the time It is spaced the data frame (Fl, F2 and F3) comprising amplitude information A (a, u) formed in T (ms).
Artery of interest at such identification is drawn into RF data, and waveform is specifically expanded for calculating artery.
Fig. 3 is shown in ultrasonic wave from the outer membrane (301) of artery (300) such as of interest, middle level (302) and inner membrance Etc (303) different anatomic position reflected after echo pattern (1,2,3,4).From the internal layer (303) (inner membrance) of wall Transition to the chamber (tube chamber) (304) positioned at intra-arterial side produces different echoes, and it is bright at both nearly wall and remote wall place Aobvious.Stronger echo represents outermost layer (outer membrane) (301).Intermediate layer (middle level) (302) is low echo.
The echo pattern obtained be used to calculate the expansion waveform, because can be observed that, such as institute in Fig. 3 The echo obtained in different zones from artery shown is different.
The remote wall and nearly wall of artery can be separated by implementing back gate tracking.These echoes are identified with Just area of interest is found in acquired signal, there, the anatomical structure of artery can be located in the region.In order to from Area of interest is identified in echo pattern, the probabilistic method of such as maximum-likelihood method etc is used.First, sliding window is utilized Mouthful method, obtains the energy diagram of Setting signal, and determines ceiling capacity region, and from for different patients these are of interest Region in choose multiple features throughout multiple frames.By obtaining average and covariance, obtain special using gauss hybrid models Levy data.When providing test frame, being established under the background of the model of the possibility that provides area of interest, to choose special Levy and it is tested.Single stage process (single class based on such as wall level method (wall class approach) etc Approach) data are classified.This method using the cutoff value of possibility come to wall level distributing point.
In formula,
The size of d- characteristic vectors
C- covariance matrixes
μ-Gauss mean value
The characteristic vector of x- test points
In addition, change of the blood flow during contraction and diastole causes the change of arterial elasticity.The elastic change is in artery Diameter change in terms of display.Based on obtained echo is moved because of wall, continuous signal frame is analyzed, and moves The expansion waveform of arteries and veins is moved the difference between remote wall motion with nearly wall and calculated.
In view of in two continuous echoes obtained obtained in thing, i-ththObtain in thing, NWi(t) it is that nearly wall is returned Ripple, and FWi(t) it is remote wall echo.Now, the nearly wall echo and remote wall echo obtained in following iteration is represented by:
NWi+1(t)=NWi(t±Гnw)
FWi+1(t)=FWi(t±Гfw)
Wherein ГfwAnd ГnwIt is the offset in nearly wall echo and remote wall echo.Echo tracking is related to estimation, and these offset Amount and the movement for therefore following echo.In order to estimate time offset of the echo between thing is continuously acquired, skew is employed And search method, and this method corresponds to calculating signal NWiAnd NW (t)i+1(t) it is preferable for the maximum cross-correlation value between , and by offset ГfwAnd ГnwIt is estimated as the time of the maximum corresponding to cross-correlation.
Once it is determined that delay, is based on velocity of sound (V) to calculate wall motion
dnw(i)=0.5*v* [Γnw(i)+Γnw(i-1)]
dfw(i)=0.5*v* [Γfw(i)+Γfw(i-1)]
Asrteriectasia waveform is moved the difference between remote wall motion with nearly wall and calculated, and is given by following formula Go out:
Δ d (i)=dfw(i)-dnw(i)
T=(i/fprf) is substituted into, expansion waveform Δ d (t) is confirmed as follows:
Δ d (t)=dfw(t)-dnw(t)
By above-mentioned expansion waveform, peak to peak expansion value can be calculated, it can be used for measuring other arterial compliance measurements Value.
Fig. 4 shows that sample expands waveform, and it represents the change of the wall diameter D (mm) by successive frame on sample S (#) Change.
The pressure change in artery is preferably shown by the change of the cross section of artery.It is used as the function of time Arterial wall cross section is further calculated based on expansion waveform by following equation:
Functional relation between blood pressure waveform p (t) and arterial wall cross section A (t) sets up as follows:
P (t)=poeγA(t)Formula (2)
In formula, p0It is constant, and γ is different between multiple arteries of patient and between multiple patients.Need Inquiry table and artery model measure the corresponding γ of artery of interest.Recognition unit (104) as shown in Figure 1 is provided should Input is to estimate artery and the specific γ values of artery, to carry out more accurate pressure waveform estimation.
By formula (2), pressure waveform can be calculated, and can be to arterial systolic blood pressure, auterial diastole pressure and mean arterial pressure Estimated.Therefore, it is possible to continuously detect the blood pressure of artery of interest using noninvasive and non-imaged method.
Because the change in the diameter and pressure related to artery of interest is obtainable, therefore can be as follows to such as Other arterial compliance measured values of modulus of elasticity, artery distensibility, arterial compliance and hardenability value etc are calculated, formula In, PsIt is systolic pressure and PdIt is diastolic pressure.
Modulus of elasticity
Artery distensibility
Arterial compliance
Hardenability value
Complied with this invention therefore provides the localised blood pressure for artery of interest and other arterial parameters and artery The continuous measurement of property measured value.
